We have an interesting rumor to pass your way about WWE Stomping Grounds. Specifically about the potential special guest referee for the Universal Championship match between Baron Corbin and Seth Rollins.
As always, take rumors with a grain of salt. I thought that it was interesting enough to pass along.
The rumor comes from a Reddit user, who previously shared some correct information prior to the Money in the Bank PPV. The user correctly posted exactly what was going to happen with Charlotte Flair winning the Title, followed by Bayley cashing in on her. They have followed it up with a post about Stomping Grounds. Here is what they posted about the potential special guest referee:
So, as always, feel free to not believe this if you want. However, one of the main names I’ve heard being considered for the referee spot this Sunday is Bray Wyatt.
The main idea is that it will ultimately play off of the Hurt/Heal gloves. The thought being thrown around right now is that he will “listen” to the heal side of things and make the count for Seth, but then hear the hurt side and attack him post match.
One of the reasons some don’t want him to be used as the ref is that they don’t feel he should be injected into the main event scene immediately as it would lead to them either having to have him win the Universal title soon after a return, or risk him not winning it and losing momentum right off the bat.
My Take: Take rumors with a grain of salt as always. Still, Bray would be a pretty interesting choice if he ends up being the referee. My money is still on Shane McMahon but this is definitely a fun scenario to think about.
Who do you think will be the referee? Let me know in the comment section below.
